the obama administration has been a total failure. i don't know what else we should have expected from the least qualified individual to ever hold office. host: what qualifies mitt romney for the presidency? caller: his entire life. he is one of the most compassionate, caring individuals. he is not the narcissist in chief. he is a great individual. host: what do you do? caller: i am self-employed and sami retired -- semi-retired. the polls are skewed. host: so you think it's going to be a landslide. other polls are showing it's a tight race. why do you think a landslide? caller: because the republicans, including myself, the base, cannot wait to go vote against this usurper, this pretender we have an office. host: are you voting against president obama or for mitt romney? caller: both. very much for romney. he's going to be a great president. the comparison between the two is unbelievable. host: we will go to a president obama supporter in annapolis, willie. caller: good morning. i disagree with the guy who just spoke with you. i thin

i guess that would be the way that the obama administration goes. you want to keep the bureaucracy but do away with cost effective programs. thank you, committee members and staff, for restoring that. so almost every proposal we made from the transportation committee for cuts and reassignment of funds have been made here. not to the degree i would like, but at least i will say it's a beginning. finally let me say that we've got to do something to further get this agency under control. last week we learn ad lib about a meltdown in security at one of my florida airports, fort myers. we got some information because we get tips all the time, everybody tells us what's going on at t.s.a. except the t.s.a. bureaucrats that are trying to protect their positions. you know, they wait until friday afternoon and released a one-paff graph statement, -- one-paragraph statement, keeping our committee in the dark, trying to keep it from the public and the press and from congress. i took the opportunity to let the press and the public know what i knew which wasn't m

so the obama administration passionately believes in new wind. in fact, 35,000 new megawatts onshore and they desperately wanted offshore as well, and the process is working. there were no rules that were promulgated. obama did it. the project is moving forward with cape wind. i urge a no vote on this amendment. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from virginia is recognized. mr. wittman this will be raised by other departments, concerns, that all the thoughts and ideas are put into place and considering this permitting process, it streamlines it. it gets to the point much quicker. instead of taking three years to permit a data gathering tower, now it goes to 30 days. it seems to me counterintuitive to say longer is better. in this case, since there are no active mills, windmills offshore, wind turbines offshore it seems we need to quicken the process. this allows for proper due diligence, proper consideration of all the different concerns, and this amendment indeed facilitates an all-of-the-above energy process with the bu

i do not like the obama administration trying to put coal out of business. i do not like to see mountaintops blasted off. how much of the coal will be obtained from mountaintop removal? guest: in terms of the percentage, in west virginia, itt probably about 10% or 15% of the production. how much of the future remains to be seen. about taxation, there is probably a good discussion on how you structure the tax policy in a state to benefit all of your citizens. the coal industry pays a severance tax once it reduces it and a everybody is paying sales taxes as well, whether it is on equipment or on the sale of coal and on the sale of electricity coming from the coal. there is a revenue stream emanating from the coal production. host: you can get a sense on how coal politics is playing into the presidential campaign. take a listen to this ad. [video clip] >> when he ran for president, president obama pledged to invest in new technology. production has increased since president obama took office. he has made a large investment in clean coal technology, a $5 billion
